Lies! Lies and treachery! Color me angry!

As an American, I find this Government overtaking of one of the most enduring PRIVATE SECTOR US entities as nothing less than a blatant and agressive facist act and as such I am appauled, disgusted, and very much concerned!

I have been a GM guy since the 60's. Ive owned numerous GM trucks, cars and suvs. I currently own a 2006 HHR and a 2006 Cobalt as well as a '65 Chevelle. A good friend of mine used to call me "the chevy guru". But no more! I will not support the downtown debacle that has assumed control of General Motors, not willingly, not with my wallet! Im moving on and I hope other Americans do as well. Time to check out autos made in "right to work" states. What has become of America?

Mr. Obama is being found out for who he really is. He is starting to be judged more on what he does and less on what he says. It's about time.

One need only recall candidate Obama's campaign promises to post all proposed legislation on the Internet for five days before voting on it, so as to provide the American public the opportunity to view and react to it. Remember his campaign promises to review proposed legislation and exercise line item vetos on "earmarks" and pork barrell projects and that there would be no room for lobbyists in his administration. These are the things he promised. Now let's take a look at how President Obama's actions have fulfilled those promises. The $800 billion, 1,100 page "Stimulous" legislation was not posted on the Internet for five days of public review. It contained 8,500 "earmarks" and pork barrell expenditures, not a single one of which was vetoed by President Obama. In fact, neither President Obama, nor the Democrat controlled Congress bothered to read it before he signed it into law 24 hours later. Had President Obama bothered to read this legislation, he wouldn't have been surprised to learn that Senator Dodd had included language in the "Stimulous" bill that called for bonus payouts. The act of not reading the provisions of so expensive a piece of legislation before signing it into law is worse than simple arrogance, it's criminally stupid. And as for no lobbyists in his administration, well if we don't count the first three hiring exceptions to this promise, here he comes closer to keeping his word than any other promise.

Yesterday, in Green Bay, WI., Mr. Obama assured his audience that "no one in government wants to take over the health insurance industry", they merely want to 'stimulate' a little competition. I seem to recall a very similar state made by Mr. Obama two weeks ago about no one in government wanting to take over the automobile industry.

In the first six months of his Presidency, Mr. Obama has turned his 'inherited deficit' into something four times larger than what it was when he took office, and that doesn't include the cost of "healthcare reform". Almost unbelievably, President Obama and Speaker Pelosi are now attempting to cloak themselves in the mantle of fiscal conservatism, calling for "pay as you go". Apparently, these two are looking at the polls and discovering that more than a few Americans are fed up with the unending government spending spree. It also the prelude of the upcoming tax hikes to pay for it. If this weren't so monumentally hypocritical it would be funny.

Some may recall that prior to taking on the job of turning around a failing Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocca was second in command of the Ford Motor Company, behind Henry Ford,III. Mr. Iacocca was the man behind the development of the Ford Mustang, one of the most popular and best selling model ever produced by the company. At the hight of his success, he was summonded into Henry Ford's office and was summarily dismissed. Reportedly, Mr. Ford was a little uncomfortable with Mr. Iacocca's success and fame, and with nowhere to promote Mr. Iacocca except into his own seat as C.E.O., Mr. Ford felt that Mr. Iacocca was expendable. Mr. Iacocca said "Henry, your timing is lousy. We have just come off the most successful year in the company's history and the sad thing is, you have no idea of how in the hell we did it."

America over the past 200 years has grown to be the economic envy of the world. Yes there have been bad times, recessions and even a depression. We have always managed to come out of these bad times without a government takeover of business. We maintained our belief in capitalism and of free enterprise and it worked. Like Henry Ford, III, I don't think Mr. Obama knows how the hell we did it. I don't necessarily blame him for that. He is young and inexperienced. He has never run a business, never had to rely on bank loans to produce goods or services and never had to meet a payroll. He has never had to do these things under the constant and ever changing laws, rules and regulations of the government and its various agencies. Mr. Obama needs to learn; we are paying his tuition; it's getting to be prohibitively expensive.

As Ronald Regan said, "The problem isn't so much that our opponents don't know things, but rather it's that so much of what they do know just isn't so."

As far as cars go. I just bought a Cadillac CTS last Thursday, just before the buy out. It will be the last GM car I ever buy.(every member of my family older than me…my father, father-in-law, uncles, in-laws, and others, are all GM retirees. Now that GM is OM (Obama motors) I am done!

If you truely want accountability in what is happening in DC then I suggest that you co-sponsor S 604 that will require the audit of the Federal Reserve. All Americans deserve the right to know how our money is being spent. This is a privately owned company and yet $9 Trillion dollars are missing from it's balance sheets! Why can't the US Federal Govt issue the money and that way we won't have to pay interest on it like we do on the Federal Reserve?

When are we going to get back to the Constitution? As long as Republicians stay asleep at the switch, huge amounts of spending is going to happen. I appreciate your efforts on The Free Enterprise Act but I fear that is only the beginning. We must abolish all laws that are unconstitutional! We are ready for you to "stand up" for Nebraskans and Americans!
